Overview

Richly detailed and timely study on conservation, development and sustainability in Tanzania. Provides valuable insights into the successes and failures of the management and governance of wildlife, forestry and coastal resources. Responding to the urgent need to examine the outcome of interventions in governing natural resources, this book analyses different types of sustainability partnerships - with donors, governments, business, NGOs and other actors, and, crucially, assesses which result in better livelihood and environmental outcomes. The contributors, from a range of disciplines, compare 'more complex' partnerships to relatively 'simpler', more traditional top-down and centralized management systems and to location where sustainability partnerships are not in place. Within-sector comparisons allow a fine-tuned analysis that is formed of historical, location and resource-specific issues, which can be used as input for resource-specific policy and partnership design. Experiences and lessons can be drawn from comparisons across the three different sectors, which can be applied to natural resource governance more broadly.

Reviews

Contested Sustainability responds to the urgent need in writings on conservation, sustainability, and development to attend more thoughtfully, systematically, and innovatively to how politics structures sustainability outcomes at multiple levels. This brilliant collection is required reading for students, scholars, and researchers globally. * Professor Arun Agrawal, School for Environment and Sustainability, University of Michigan *
